memorysnow reviewed He's gone by Deb Caletti
Review of "He's gone" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This should have been a book about a woman's search for her missing husband, but instead the bulk of this story comprises the inner monologue of a woman who left one horrible relationship for another, with incessant harping on the repercussions of her myriad bad life choices and a peppering of irrelevant anecdotes from adolescence that add absolutely nothing to the story. There are only two things I liked about this book: Pollux the dog and the Seattle setting. The Bill Gates cameo was nauseatingly precious and made me want to throw the book off the Ship Canal bridge into Lake Union. Grudgingly rounding up from 1.5.
